Oh my flippin word Jim, how cool are these two little tokens of love. Any girl/guy would love to have one of them. I'm in the Valentines mood this year too so far three projects done and three on the go.

I really like the black too. Beautiful cards - frameable. How did you get a jump ring through a glass heart or is it solid? I'm not jumping in until I see the 3-D heart. Not after that he-he-he.HugsMo(Mori49)

I am so glad I watched the videos because the heart didn't photograph very well. In the video the shine, sparkle, and glitz show up and the heart is beautiful. In the picture I thought it was very rustic but it is truly the exact opposite. I never thought to make the card with chipboard and lining the inside like this- a terrific Idea. It really elevates the card into the work of art a pretty, well-done handmade card is.

Jim, I just finished watching your video's and first of all let me tell you I was not bored at all. You are very entertaining, it would be boring if you didn't chit-chat, so quit apologizing. You made my afternoon, I sent my daughter off on an airplane this morning to go thru some testing for a government internship. She's such a strong kid, but Mom is a wimp. To make a long story short, she was scared and we both started crying, so I spent most of the day boo-whoing. (by the way, my kid, is 19 yrs. old) Anyway you brought me out of my funk and I thank you for that. I'm going to go to my crafty area and try to re-create your card with the supplies I have. To finish the story, HA, she arrived safely and now I can relax for the night. You raise them and it's just so hard letting go!! (now let me apologize for boring you, but thanks again. Your cards are just beautiful, I love the black white and red together.

Shari, I'm so glad she made it safely. I can only imagine how hard it is for kids to grow up and move forward. I'd a strapped her to my side and not let go. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to bring you out of your funk. who knew! Too cool! Once again, so glad you are feeling better. Now get back in the studio and start crafting! That will help! :)

I say this in the least creepy way possible, I want to be your Valentine!!! These cards are amazing! And I just love watching you craft. I was working on something while I was watching your video & it was almost like crafting together. Except you don't hear me when I answer your questions. :P

So glad I discovered your blog and watched your video. Your card is awesome - love the way you talk through your creative process and dig for treasure. Can't wait to explore more of your blog. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion!

Dang it! I should have checked here before I spent all day fiddling with my Valentines. All two of them. Love the first one with the heart ornament so clever. You reminded me - I have that corner punch. It looks cute when you use it, am I surprised?Well, now I have something to work on tomorrow.

Hi Jim!I am delighted with you, Jim! Your works are very very beautiful! I really can not get enough of your great works, a few days ago, i spent a whole night in front of computers and looked at your blog and your youtube videos, and suddenly would be 4 clock in the morning and at 5:30 I had to leave the house... anyway ... I have lots of ideas "copied" from you, and I will try to do after! I hope I will soon hear from you, I would be very happy! Sorry, but I'm not so good in english, I have translated to Uncle Google :-)!All the best to you and still many creative ideas!! Be well and God bless you!Many greetings from Germany / Cologne by Laura

I was going to watch the videos last night but the my version of your Organizer kept calling to me...so close to being finished. So...this morning I spent an hour with you and enjoyed both videos...just like being there with you. I love, LOVE the glitter glass & UTEE technique...gotta get some glitter glass next time I go to Waxahachie.

I know this doesn't belong here, but I know there are a lot Tim followers on here(that's how most of us got here). Has anyone tried to get on his blog this morning only to be sent to Twitter? I don't want to Twitter, I'm old and can barely get off the ground.

Awesome video... watched it last night! It's really nice to know that you are REAL in your video's, like a regular crafter... not fake... like it is staged or you are reading from a script! I really enjoyed your video and me thinks I need a Xyron machine now! LOL!!! Have a wonderful Sunday and hope it is very creative!!!
